what does romney do now? we see this morning he has a new ad where he is speaking to the camera for 60 seconds, but is it too late? >> the reason that 47% is working is because it's new information. we don't want to hear the same thing over and over again. voters pay attention to it. >> look at this ad. for the first time romney is speaking directly to the people, is that too late? >> in a simple answer, yes. that should have been done three or four months ago. he solidified his control back in april. why is this ad only running now? when we look back at this campaign, i think we will realize you can't have the same impact as you did then. >> so did they not use that advantage? >> you can use it up to a point, and the fact is if you look at the numbers up to the republican convention, mitt romney was only a couple points behind in ohio. nationwide, it was 1%. this whole thing developed over the last three weeks, you have to give the democrats credit, they're on message particularly from the democratic convent

but let's assume governor romney won. if he wins, that almost certainly means the republicans will hold on to the huse and it will be about 50/50 in the senate, more or less the way it is now. if president obama wins, i think that too will break the log jam for a different reason. as senator mcconnell said, their number one goal the last four years has been denying him a second term. as soon as he gets that, they can't deny him a third term, he can't have one anyway. i think you will see -- i'll just make a prediction. i think in the lame-duck session, they will avoid the fiscal cliff, they will reach an agreement -- >> by extending it? by some sort of extension? or by making a deal? >> they'll either make a deal or they'll have a short extension, which makes it clear this is not another year, this is not going to fool around. i predict that you will get a budget deal early next year, if not in a lame-duck session. and i think you'll start to see them work together. it's going to be a different world. >> because the elect

and i picked up none of that from romney, no kind of anxiety, no nervousness. he looked very measured like someone who is going to stay the course, stay on message. he talked a lot about the debate, and that's a chance for the american people to kind of see his message and also for him to show what he says is some false attacks by the president. he had some pretty harsh words for the president, too, and his campaign. take a listen to that. >> this is a campaign not about character assassination, even though i think that's what's come from the obama camp, by and large. >> reporter: character assassination? >> yeah. >> has the obama campaign engaged in character assassination? >> sure. i think they try and completely misrepresent my point of view as well as the reason i'm in the race. i think fundamentally the american people are interested in who's going to make their lives bet per >> the president and romney were both in ohio yesterday, and today they're in another swing state at the same time, virginia. they're both campaigning there today as they're kind of g

romney has a tougher map. he starts with a bit of a deficit, if you count the states that he can certainly count on. wisconsin is another important state to look at. that was one state that obama won in 2008 where romney thought he could make inroads. picked paul ryan. the polls tightened. now the polls have gotten wider there. >> john, based on your reporting, what do you sense mitt romney is going to do differently or is it stay on the same track? >> well, this is the great question with mitt romney. it's been several months where they've various different times said we're going to get more specific. but if you listen to him on the stump, all he has done so far really is just assert his plans over again. well, that hasn't done it so far. so the question is, what's he going to do? it could just be that some people are just tuning in now. maybe when they hear his programs for the first time, people find that perfectly attractive. but there has been a months long question about whether he can do something more
